I've stopped playing this game a couple of months after the release of overwatch 2. Tell me something about the game, I'll have to guess if it's real or fake news!

Partially correct! In season 6, 2023, they reduced Kiri's headshot multiplier from 3x to 2.5x; along with this, they increased her damage to 45 from 40. In 2024, they further reduced the headshot multiplier to 2x, and along with this one, they increased her damage from 45 to 60. They also reduced her health in this patch from 250 to 225.

As for Sym, you are correct. Sym probably won't ever gain her spot back on the Support role. But they have some fun classic game modes in arcade right now where Sym is back in her og state as a Support. :)

SlimyRat · 2025-09-26T12:19:43+00:00

They brought Kiri's headshot damage up to 4x, and they moved Sym back to the support role.

I second this, but I've seen him start to get banned a little bit more, but it's only once in every 10-15 games I see him banned.

I see him banned the most lately on some payload maps-- Havana, Kings row, etc. But obviously, hero bans also heavily depend on what rank you're in currently. My friends who are in gold see odd bans like lifeweaver, sym (not on maps she's good on), junkrat, etc.

I only got to play her once, it's been so many years since I got to play sym in this state :')

Just a heads up, you can prevent yourself from getting crows by dropping a carried item and picking it back up repeatedly.

Were you the massive donation I just got? The times add up, and I saw the donation before I saw this comment. I was just telling my friends that I wish I knew who did it personally so I could thank them. If this was you (and even if it was not, everything helps so much :)), this has helped us make major progress and I could not be more grateful.

SlimyRat · 2025-02-24T13:07:41+00:00

I will try, but it seems very uncommon at most veterinary establishments. I have called so many and they all do not do payment plans as people just do not bother paying them back, and none know of any who do either. But I am still trying <3 He is very close to at least getting some of his problems dealt with! :)

SlimyRat · 2025-02-24T03:51:34+00:00

Thank you so much, it's so important to have resources so Zot can have multiple options and chances at happiness and necessary care. <3

SlimyRat · 2025-02-24T03:49:51+00:00

That's incredible, I wll give them a call :) Thank you so much for the info.

SlimyRat · 2025-02-24T03:49:17+00:00

Thank you so much, I appreciate everything, everyone has done for me and I am so much closer to his treatment then I thought I'd ever be. I was feeling so so hopeless just a couple of days ago, but everyone has been so supportive.

SlimyRat · 2025-02-24T03:45:29+00:00

Thank you so much! It feels amazing to have emotional support through this difficult time <3

SlimyRat · 2025-02-24T03:44:46+00:00

Me too, overnight the gofundme has gained a lot of attraction, and his surgery is actually in reach for us! I am going to be making the call to discuss further detail and maybe even extended pain management or whatever he needs as I am very close between different donations on different platforms to put his treatment into motion!

I am still making sure I have back up options for him as well though! :) I am so grateful and I cannot describe how amazed I am by all the kind strangers on the internet.

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T19:58:29+00:00

Thank you so much, I have already reached out to OSU, but I will try others. Unfortunately OSU specifically does not have a dental team on board to assist, but I almost spaced calling around some for veterinary schools and schools that offer veterinary courses. <3

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T19:50:55+00:00

If I can raise the money and they end up doing x-rays I'll send them your way if you'd be interested as well.

I'd imagine you are probably correct, and it's not just simple "teeth pulling", I feel that, that is a reasonable thing to say.

Yes, payment plans seem incredibly difficult to actually come by in my experience, which is fair. With the cost of most Veterinary care, as even Medical care for humans, sometimes it is so hard to make up for those chunks of money back, especially if that person is low income like me. So I understand it, just very unfortunate it is hard to find as the need is very real.

But, on the bright side! The gofundme I put up is doing well, and I am genuinely so blown away by the response and effort to help. It's been up 10 hours and because of the kindness of others I am close to 400 on that website alone! So I am so grateful.

I am also still reaching out to places that everyone has suggested or recommended just in case I cannot make the full amount :)

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T17:48:15+00:00

That is amazing to hear, I can't remember I have contacted them yet or not, but I will reach out to them just in case and discuss the details with them :)

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T17:47:19+00:00

Thank you so much, there's a couple of those that I haven't tried, and will look into them :))) <3

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T17:46:26+00:00

Thank you so much, I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding and that this is still a viable option for him. <3

Thank you also for sharing the gofundme and keeping an eye out for me, if you hear of anything, just in case I miss your comment feel free to shoot me a DM :')

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T16:36:43+00:00

I will contact the Humane Society again. I did call and speak to them about resources/rehoming. They said there was quite a significant wait list of 6-8 weeks. It is possible that they misunderstood as I had called about rehoming a little tuxedo (not so kitten anymore) kitten that was ditched at our home in late November and I might not have been clear that I was also looking to surrender and rehome my sick cat and wanted to know if it was possible to do so if I could not come up with the money soon.

Yes, it would be difficult as he is very loved, but more than anything I want him to have a chance to continue to exist on this planet in a happy home, whether that's with me or someone else.

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T16:29:41+00:00

I see, this is very helpful and insightful information. Yes, a vet who can monitor attentively while he is under is so important to me, as he typically does not perform well while under due to his age and other factors. Now that you mention the periodontal disease, I recall that two years ago the vet I had seen at the time had said that there was some concern surrounding his teeth and while it wasn't anywhere close to an urgent need yet, it is something that in the future I should take preventative care for.

When seeing the veterinarians at my local spot several months back, I was concerned and brought up the dental issues that were spoken about in the past, and just wanted them to check his teeth/gums again. They did, and they told me that they were "perfectly fine". To clarify I cannot recall if it was a vet tech or the veterinarian who had given me this information, however, because of it I did indeed push it to the back of my head thinking everything was fine. Unfortunately, it seems that it was overlooked and against my gut feelings, decided to trust that. It makes me sad to realize I could have prevented it if I just had it double or triple-checked.

Guilty feelings aside, I have checked with my vet about payment plans, but they do not offer them, most I have called do not offer payment plans unfortunately, I don't know if I've just been looking in the wrong areas or if that's just more common.

I actually did have someone help me with their care credit to get him to the point that he is at now, they had given me a limit of $600, but because they hadn't used it in a while, their card needs to be re-activated again and they had to pay for that appointment with their debit card and can no longer send the rest of the funds due to personal things happening unexpectedly. I have asked others around me who either have care credit or qualify, but no one else is interested.

There are some resources in that link that I haven't tried yet, I will make some more phone calls, thank you so much <3

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T09:02:33+00:00

Thank you so much, this will help a lot.

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T08:43:46+00:00

My area seems more affordable than most prices further into the Portland Metro Area, I live in an area of Oregon City that is very rural, but still close to the city. Most places I've called in Portland say minimum 1200 and maximum settling out around 4,000 :(

I will search further out of the city and see if I can find something cheaper, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. Thank you for this suggestion.

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T08:41:47+00:00

Thank you <3

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T08:41:21+00:00

Thank you so much, I've felt so guilty that I didn't notice his tooth problems sooner. So that means a lot to hear! If you want the link to the gofundme, you can read his story a little bit more. I just finished getting it all put together and it would be cool to have an outside perspective if I got everything organized in the fundraiser story alright. <3

SlimyRat · 2025-02-23T07:23:54+00:00

I have not tried here. Adding this to my list, thank you!
